On August 8th, 2012 my son turned seven years old. It was British Soccer
Camp week, so I surprised him with a cake and pizza for his group. I must say
that I have had a birthday party each year since his birth. But, last year my
husband and I announced that it was our last year throwing a birthday party.
Therefore, I decided to bring the cake and pizza to his camp site. My son was joyful
and extremely grateful. Moreover, he said to me, "Mommy, you are the best
mom in the world." So the reason that I am blogging about this is to
inform mommies that children are not as difficult to satisfy as we often think.

Reinas, you can do the same for your children if you are in a tight budget
or do not have the time to organize a birthday bash. It is simple and
cost-effective to bring the party to school, summer camp, or the park. But most
importantly, your child is content that his or her birthday was acknowledged
and celebrated. Frequently, kids do not notice the difference between a big birthday bash or the alternative which is a win-win situation.

Useful Tips: It is not necessary to spend a great deal of money on a cake. BJ's has
an inexpensive bakery that custom make cakes. Pizza is always an inexpensive
meal for a birthday party. Simply place the order in advance from your local
pizzeria.

I am all about providing tips to moms to make their lives easier and less
stressful. So I hope that you find this information useful.
Happy Stress Free Birthday Celebration! I certainly enjoyed it!

On August 2, 2012, Queens Mocha Moms celebrated their 10th anniversary in an all-white affair under
the stars overseeing the 59th Street Bridge at Penthouse 808. It was simply AWESOME! We gathered in sisterhood and friendship with a
common purpose to celebrate TEN thriving years as a chapter and support group
for mothers of color. I have been a member for seven years and served on the executive board twice. Consequently, this important milestone has meant a great deal to me. Moreover, I am honored to serve as Vice-President and thankful for the
enthusiasm and support that the membership body has displayed during the course of this year.

One of my proudest moments as Vice-President of Queens Mocha Moms, was coordinating with the help of my dynamic executive board, the Spring ReNew You Beauty and Fashion Show Event on April 28, 2012. As a leader, I felt the need to create an event that focussed on beauty and fashion where moms will have an opportunity to Rip the pink carpet as models in elegant gowns designed by one our own mocha Charmaine Mischel Couture.The Women/Mothers graced the runway feeling beautiful as well as CONFIDENT. For me, it was mission accomplished because that is what I am all about- uplifting and inspiring women.

The Spring ReNew You Event was a FABULOUS event for all the women who attended. It was filled with Fashion and Make-Up Tips by Naima Smith, and Hair Tips by Khadija James. Hosted by Karen Taylor-Bass-The PR Expert and founder of the blog -The Brand New Mommy.
